Care environments
Textiles that care for people and places
In healthcare and care settings, textiles shape how rooms feel and function. They support calm, privacy, hygiene and orientation, creating spaces that feel safe and human.
At Almedahls, our textiles combine Nordic clarity with functional performance. They support wellbeing in hospitals, care homes, mental health environments and rehabilitation spaces.
